Curvy plan for site near Mailbox
PLANS have been revealed for a new office block in Birmingham city centre.
The 218,000 sq ft project would be built on a car park at the corner of Upper Gough Street and Marshall Street close to the Mailbox.
Developers are seeking consent for two separate blocks alongside a roof garden and parking.
It will be the first phase of a more comprehensive development, with construction expected to start in 2023, subject to consent.
City Realty is the developer behind the project designed by architecture practice Corstorphine + Wright, with consultancy from Lambert Smith Hampton and Holland Lloyd.
Holland Lloyd founder Ben Rayner said: “This is another exciting regeneration scheme in Birmingham
city centre that highlights the confidence in the city, bringing jobs to the local area.
“The site is close to existing amenities and we expect this proposal will encourage wider regeneration local to this site.”
Corstorphine + Wright director Tony Mead added: “This is a unique opportunity to introduce a landmark office building to a key route through the city while integrating the Peace Gardens into our proposals with new pedestrian routes linking the city centre and canalside developments.
“With a current focus on what a post-Covid city centre would look like, we believe that there will still be a strong demand for creative workspaces where people can come together and work collaboratively.”
